MMacD Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'd like to be able to add multiple copies of the same file to a dvd burn, so that if something damages one area of the disc, I can still read from another. There doesn't seem to be any way to do that. The "optimise duplicates" is already turned off, yet when I try to add the second copy (a subtree full of font files) it helpfully tells me that the directory already exists. It would be yet helpfuller were there a "do it anyway" checkbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 If you're using standard imput mode, you'd need multiple copies of that folder (obviously they'd then have different names) on your hdd. If you're using advanced input mode, it's pretty easy. Just add it once, rename the one in the 'Disc' pane, add it again, rename again, add again etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMacD Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 It'd be nicer to have the checkbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 That would do what? Add the same thing with the same name twice? It's impossible. If you want multiple copies of the same thing, you have to rename them yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMacD Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Not really. ImgBurn itself could modify the name(s) in the usual way editors do when saving a backup history: append .1, .2 etc. Enormously more convenient for the human. Or, to be really posh, allow the human to select the garnish. In my case, since I was already using a dot, I'd have chosen an underscore: fonts.type1, fonts.type1_2, fonts.type1_3, etc. Edited February 26, 2013 by MMacD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
